The death toll in the 13/7 Mumbai triple blasts has gone up to 23 with three more injured dying in a span of 24 hours. While one died on Friday night, two passed away on Saturday.
While Sripal Mujpura (35) died due to extensive brain injury on Friday night, Sundar Singh Bisht (30) passed away after he suffered a cardio-respiratory arrest on Saturday morning. Ajay Sovram Verma (30) died due to multiple organ failure around 5.45 p.m.
Both Ajay and Sundar passed away at the J.J. Hospital here.
Six more critical
Six more victims, critically injured, still lie in the hospital's Critical Care Unit (CCU) on a thin string of hope as the doctors try their best to save them.
Sundar, who was an attendant at a jewellery shop in Zaveri Bazaar, passed away at 10.20 a.m. He had escaped two previous bomb blasts in 1993 and 2003 in Zaveri Bazaar. This time he had gone to eat snacks at the Khau galli with three friends when the bomb exploded.
